Quote: The collected works of Visionatus Improbablus would look good on the bookshelf. It would be delightful to write them too. And see them illustrated, of course. Quote: I'm still not certain who the book man is? Or I've forgotten it? He's one of the Librarian's forebears. Lee was from a long line of literary types. Books are figuratively in his blood. Quote: So many good links (including the link to LLY1 #7 - I clicked - still not there). Hey, there wasn't even a "nothing yet" card until yesterday. So... progress! Quote: Where is the best place to find more on the Knights Improbablar? I'm confused/forgetful by who they all are and who they are representing. There isn't that much written. I first mentioned them. AG mapped out a massive roster for them that was really only the current poster-characters converted to medieval names. I don't recall they really did much, although they may have had a brief play time during his Crisis in Infinite Parodyverses. I mentioned them as the predecessor outfit to the Improbable College and then the League of Improbable Gentlemen, and I was imagining them as the Parodyverse version of the Knights Templar, a holy order guarding a mystic purpose who were eventually supressed for it and carried on secretly for a while. I never did a story with them. Meanwhile, in an alternate reality, the Knights Improbablar prospered and became the ruling class of their world, led by paladin-style knights drawing upon Serious Matter to supress chaos magic. Then, because of the Parody Master, this world began to crash into and merge with a different alternate reality where magic reigned and a magocracy prevailed. The sorcerers and sorceresses of one world did not get on with the witch-hunters of the other and there was war. The gateway to that storyline was probably UT#258: War and Peace, which focusses on Improbablar Chevalier Sir John de Jaboz and on Lileblanche de Cour, Second Princess of Salem, a sorceress. Quote: Some good one-liners in this too. Required to leaven info-dump. Quote: And, the battle between the Destroyer and the Shaper at last! Was good to see Lisa expose all the flaws in Symmetry's plans and how things had been subltly set in motion to stop her - including one castle. Ding dong indeed. Never underestimate just how far Lisa will go to ruin things for people who annoy her. Quote: So now we need a new Shaper. Hmm...could this be the ultimate aim of the Hood? He is very good at shaping things after all. He doesn't want it. It is too limited with too many rules. It is working for the Man. | |||||||
